Posted: Wed Dec 01, 2004 6:26 am
A Saudi man divorced his wife after she insisted on waiting 13 hours at an airport for a flight that kept being delayed.
The Saudi daily al-Yaum said the couple waited from 9am to 11pm for the flight at Bisha airport in the south of the kingdom.
Relatives of the husband said the wife refused to return home and take another flight, causing the man to divorce her at the airport.
In Saudi Arabia, a man may receive a divorce simply upon request, while a woman must win a legal decision to separate.
